REPORT OF THE NEW YORK BOARD OF HEALTH
Mayor Hewitt yesterday sent to the board of
aldermen report OF the board OF health on the
subject OF food authorizations, which contained the
following remarks:
s'The experience OF this department has been
that cases OF hurtful adulteration OF food and
liquor are comparatively rare. The authorizations
usually encountered are made in the interest OF
bulk and cheapness, and the materials used for
this purpose are seldom in any other respect hurt
full than that they are likely to be tndigestibe In
the case OF liquors, even OF imitation wines into
which no grape juice enters 1t has been found
that II the alcohol is eliminated only the fruit
syrups OF the soda fountain remain. II is
difficult, II not impossible, to ind on sale In New
York sample OF confectionery with poisonous
cOlOring or navortng. There has also been q
marked improvement In the character OF the milk
and meat supply OF the city, and such adultera-
lions as are known to exist are simply frauds on
the purchaser. As frauds they do not come under
our notice.
ssThe dangers with which our sense OF duty
prompt US to cope with most vigorously are those
arising from the sale OF contaminated food This
we are doing as well as we are able, considering
the insufficient means at our command. /
am OF the opinion that the statements published
by authority OF the American Society for the Pre-
vention OF the Adulteration OF Food quoted In the
resolutions OF the common council, greatly exag.
gerate the facts not as to the prevalence OF adul-
terat1on. but as to the eject upon the public
health Of the kinds OF frauds perpetrated."

vice OF W. 81. Green, ''withous character" from

more, ago, the case occasioned considerable COM
ment. Gen. Hazen strenuously opposed his
